I tried this over on the layout forum with no luck... Can anyone provide libraries or turnout designer parameters for the Peco code 83 turnouts, especially the #5's?
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
The good news is XtrxCad is free. The bad news is XtrkCad is free... which means it seems to be no longer being supported or upgraded. So new libraries are probably not likely (at least from the authors). I understand that there is a users group on Yahoo... might try there. (I can't get Yahoo's user groups interface to make sense, so I always give up on them).
I suspect that you are aware that XtrkCad does include code 100 Peco turnouts. I suspect that although the rail height is different, the geometry is the same... might be worth a try to print some 1:1 and see how they line up.
